Oman Sail triumphs at Cowes

Just 10 points separated them from their biggest rivals Luna Rossa (ITA) at the start of yesterday, and the tension on the water was evident. By the final race, The Wave, Muscat had extended their lead to 14.8 points over Luna Rossa, however the battle was far from over in some of the lightest airs of the regatta, with any of the top three boats still able to claim the title, including the Swiss team on Alinghi. “I am absolutely ecstatic; to win one of the major events of the Series, and in my home town is incredible. It has been great sailing here in front on my family and friends and those who supported me to get here in the first place. We have had huge support from the Oman contingent as well which has been fantastic and we have certainly been flying the flag for Oman here in Cowes.” David Graham, Oman Sail’s CEO, joined the team in Cowes and spoke about the Omani presence. “It is fantastic to see both our boats doing so well and I have no doubt they will get stronger and stronger as the season goes on and will continue to impress us all. For Oman Sail this event has been a huge success, and the team has done a fantastic job representing and promoting Oman to a key market in the UK.” Act five of the Extreme Sailing Series draws to a close, with Oman Sail topping the podium for the first time this year. Despite a disappointing performance for the Kiwi team Emirates Team New Zealand in Cowes, which only managed to finish seventh, the team remains at the top of the overall series leaderboard, just one point ahead of Luna Rossa.
